In the "Book of Changes", there are six stages of "dragon".
The first stage, Qianlong, that is, do not use Qianlong. It means that when the time is not ripe, the ability is not enough, the capital is insufficient, and the chips are not many, you must know how to secretly accumulate your own strength, and accumulate your strength instead of blindly accumulating your strength.
In the second stage, seeing the dragon in the field, after experiencing the accumulation in the first stage, only by seizing the opportunity can one stand out.
In the third stage, there is no fault in being cautious, be vigilant, don’t be arrogant and complacent, don’t be carried away, and be constantly reviewing, reflecting, and introspecting.
The fourth stage is to leap into the abyss, display your talents and keep rising.
In the fifth stage, the flying dragon is in the sky. To put it simply, this is the peak, soaring into the sky.
The sixth stage is the last stage, which is the peak stage. At this peak stage, there is no way to go up. If you go down, you will be shattered into pieces, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and even be cautious.
These six stages are the real "family motto" of the Zhao family. You can see it from Zhao Tai, you can see it from Zhao Xiong, and you can also see it from the Zhao family.
Not only the Zhao family, but also the emperor Zhou Ke can still see it.
When Lao Ba was still a child of the Zhou family, he had only been in the army for a few years, so he could only endure it. After a while, he rose to prominence in the army. He then accumulated connections and acted secretly, without daring to be arrogant and domineering. When he felt that he was almost able to stand up, he returned to Beijing. , openly declared war with the Zhou family, and finally assassinated the emperor, killed the prime minister, entered the capital to seize the palace, and soared to the sky.
After passing the first five stages, one becomes the emperor, and finally one has regrets.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Lao Ba does not have the domineering and heroic spirit he had when he was in the army.
This is not because Zhou Ke is timid, but he has taken on more, understood more, and made more choices.
In fact, Han You did not know that Zhao Xiong had met Lao Ba before Zhou Ke ascended the throne, and what he said to Han You was also said to Lao Ba.
This is not a threat to anyone, but a hope to reach some kind of "consensus". Anyone who has not experienced the flying dragon in the sky has regrets. This is the case for the Zhao family, and the same is true for the emperor.
It is difficult to build a family fortune, but it is even more difficult to keep it.
When running a family business, I just want to grab other people's cakes, cooperate with others, and become a member of the wolf pack.
When you are guarding the family business, countless people want to snatch the cake from your hands. At this time, the wolves will target you alone.
Now Zhao Xiong said this to Han You because he felt that Han You could be so appreciated and trusted by the emperor. At least the two of them had something in common. If so, then they could also reach a consensus with the Zhao family.
"Mr. Zhao, the last question is asked in a private capacity."
Han You breathed out a breath: "The Zhao family is a truly aristocratic family. It has been inherited from the end of the Warring States Period to the present. It has gone through many dynasties and is still standing. There are many capable people, many capable ministers in the world, and fierce generals on the battlefield. They all come from Zhao family, what you say is true."
"It's true."
"The Zhu family in the North made their fortune during the reign of Emperor Xingwen of the previous dynasty. They relied on selling horses and salt. They have done all the evil things that can be imagined. Only I can't think of it. There is nothing that the Zhu family has not done. Their hands are stained with blood. He is greedy to the extreme, evil to the extreme, ruthless to the extreme, and crazy to the extreme.”
Han You sincerely asked for advice: "Just now, when you and Zhu Long stood side by side, it reminded me of a handsome young man with luxurious clothes and extraordinary appearance, and a bandit who was full of stench and smell of blood. It reminded me of something like this I don’t understand two people standing together, please enlighten me.”
"I want to ask General Han, have you ever thought about what will happen after you kill Zhu Long?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I just want to play with him, I didn't say I wanted to kill him."
"good."
Zhao Xiong smiled bitterly: "Then I ask you, what will be the consequences if you play with him?"
Without waiting for Han You's answer, Zhao Xiong continued: "You yourself said that the Zhu family is so brutal and cruel, and even more narrow-minded. What's the difference between playing with him and killing him? If you play with him, you might as well kill him. , at least you can still quibble after the person dies, but if you don’t kill him, he will definitely tell his elder brother that you have given the emperor’s will to humiliate him when he returns to the north. "
After a pause, Zhao Xiong continued: "The Zhu family are arrogant and vicious people. Seeing that the emperor will not tolerate them and the country will not tolerate them, they will definitely have second thoughts and join forces with the northern family to stir up trouble among the families in the world. With the imperial court, do you dare to say that no one will cling to the Zhu family? Will no one be instigated by the Zhu family? Yes, of course it will. No matter how suppressed the Zhu family is by the Ma family, they are also a wealthy family. If he secretly If he joins a foreign race, if he secretly harms the border, if he uses all his secret methods, a spark can start a prairie fire. The Zhu family is not scary, but the human heart is scary. This human heart is like a spark. How do you think your majesty got it today? Dabao, you think that the tyrannical kid on the Dragon Throne in the previous dynasty initially persecuted Zhongliang with a slaughter knife. No, of course not, it was just a small hook that was not worth mentioning. But all of this is because of this small hook. .”
"I don't believe it." Han You shook his head: "I don't believe that a mere Zhu family can really rebel against heaven. If heaven can rebel so easily, just because a North Zhu family rebels, it means that this country... is not as good as before. At court."
Zhao Xiong laughed loudly and kept laughing.
After a moment, the smile faded, and Zhao Xiong said lightly: "Back then, the Hunjun in the previous dynasty also thought the same way."
Han You: "..."
"Do you know why our Zhao family is so prosperous in the Southland, just like your Han family and his son are in Four Seasons Villa?"
"What do you mean?" Han You sneered: "We are different, different. Everyone has a different situation."
"People, people's hearts!"
"Listen to the aristocratic family discussing the common people." Han You was amused: "The eldest girl has been on the kang for a while, let's hear what she has to say."
“People don’t know much.”
"They are all unruly people."
"Listen to what I said, the people only know that whoever treats them well is a good person. In a shop, the people who work as waiters work hard all day long, greeting people and sending them off, groveling, and after one season, they can't get enough money. And look at the shopkeeper, After earning hundreds of dollars in one season, the clerk naturally thought that the master's house would decline earlier. If it declines, if the shop owner is replaced, he might be given more wages."
Han You nodded: "Continue."
"But if the shopkeeper who earns a hundred dollars a quarter gives the people three dollars a quarter, then the people will naturally have to work harder."
"That makes sense."
"Think again, if the shopkeeper who earns hundreds of dollars gives the people ten dollars every quarter, do you know what will happen?"
"what happened?"
"You ask questions knowingly, just like in your villa, the people who work as waiters will feel that their lives belong to the shopkeeper. They pray to God and pray to God for fear that the business of the shop will not be good, and for fear that the shopkeeper will not live a long life. If there is a strong person who wants to hurt Shopkeeper, the people will risk their lives to protect the shopkeeper, this is the people’s support.”
Zhao Xiong pointed to his chest: "This is the people's heart. The people don't know much. They only know the simplest truth, that is, they will obey and support whoever is good to them. I, the Zhao family, Tenants are common people, but to the emperor, our Zhao family is not common people. The reason why the Zhao family can last long is because we, the shopkeepers, although we are greedy, do not dare to let the people who eat with us go hungry, and do not dare to treat our people badly. The Zhu family is different. The Zhu family wants to drink the blood of their associates and eat the flesh of the common people. This kind of people is the most terrifying. They are more terrifying than my Zhao family, because the Zhu family has too many associates. Because these associates, they think that the Zhu family Family is heaven, the people of the court, the emperor's people, the world. If you make the Zhu family anxious, the Zhu family will make their clerks anxious. The anger of the clerk will not be caused by killing a shopkeeper. When it dissipates, it will pour out its anger on the court, your majesty, and the country. This anger is what I call a single spark, a prairie fire."
Han You was speechless.
He always said that the world is fucked, the world is fucked, precisely because he has experienced a lot and seen a lot of bad things. The reason why so many bad things can happen must be because of soil problems. If there is a big problem in the soil, it means that there is a big problem in the court. The imperial court supports these people who do evil things and provides backing to these people who do evil things.
Then think about it on the other hand, when one day he has the ability to change everything and kill those who do evil things, will his anger subside?
Of course not, because he will be blinded by anger, just like now, hating and cursing the court, as if every official in the court will do evil, is about to do evil, and is doing evil in private.
Cold sweat broke out on Han You's back.
If I had not become Han You in my two lives, had not become my father's son, had not met the young prince Zhou Yan, had not made friends with Lao Ba, and had not known so many truly loyal and patriotic ministers, but had become an ordinary citizen and suffered so much. The son of an oppressive people…
Han You didn't dare to think about it anymore, because if he was a son of the common people who was being oppressed, he would definitely resist. Once he resisted, he would either die or keep going. If he had the ability and was lucky, he would be able to keep going. , then the end of the road must be to overthrow the imperial court and kill the emperor and everyone in the imperial court.
But in the court, there were not only Lao Zhou, Lao Qian, and Lao Huang who were truly loyal and patriotic ministers, but also the Emperor who also wanted to change all this.
At that time, will I give them a chance to explain? Will they explain? The answer is no. In the end, I will either be killed by this group of people, or I will kill this group of people myself.
"Han You is taught."
With a stern look on his face, Han You immediately opened the car door, stood outside the car, straightened his clothes in front of everyone, and bowed deeply.
"Han You will benefit from listening to the boss for the rest of his life."
Han You's face was full of reverence and he said loudly: "Then I dare to ask the boss, how can I get rid of Zhu Long without causing the Zhu family to rebel?"
Zhu Long inside the door had his eyes tearing up: "You old man Zhao, how dare you betray me!"
Zhao Xiong's face was full of astonishment at first, and then he laughed loudly: "You kid, you are not bad, it is indeed good, hahahaha."
Han You looked disappointed. He thought that Lao Deng was fighting for his life.
